The radar

The Jackson,KY radar (KJKL), 96 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:04 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 12:00Z, 9.1 hours before the alert went out and 240 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Jun 17, 3:07 PM EDT, 1 hour 56 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 17, 3:07 PM EDT, 1 hour 56 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
307 PM EDT WED JUN 17 2009

.SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...UPDATED

VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WITH A MODEST AMOUNT OF SHEAR HAS LED TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AFFECTING THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. A VERY MOIST
AIR MASS WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER ABOVE 1.5 INCHES WAS OVER OUR
SOUTHERN COUNTIES EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON...ENHANCING THE THREAT OF
HEAVY RAINFALL. WITH MANY AREAS HAVING SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL IN RECENT
DAYS IN THAT SAME AREA...WILL LEAVE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN PLACE
INTO EARLY EVENING.

A SHORTWAVE TROUGH ENHANCING THE CONVECTION WILL BE SHIFTING
SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA EARLY THIS EVENING. DRIER AIR WILL BE MOVING
IN ALOFT BY THE START OF THE FIRST PERIOD...WITH THE HIGH MOISTURE
CONTENT ONLY EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE LOWEST LEVELS. ALONG WITH LOSS
OF HEATING...THIS SHOULD LEAD TO THE DEMISE OF MOST
THUNDERSTORMS...AND WILL ONLY CARRY A 20 PERCENT POP IN THE FIRST
PERIOD AFTER 00Z.

ON THURSDAY STRONG HEATING OF HIGH DEW POINT LOW LEVEL AIR MAY AGAIN
LEAD TO THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT...ESPECIALLY WITH WEAK CONVERGENCE
AND A BIT OF LIFT PROVIDED BY A POORLY DEFINED WARM FRONT STILL IN
THE AREA. FOCUSING MECHANISMS WILL BE WEAK...SO CONFIDENCE IN THE
FORECAST FOR CONVECTION IS NOT HIGH. WITH THE INSTABILITY AND SHEAR
EXPECTED...SEVERE WEATHER WILL AGAIN BE A THREAT IF STORMS OCCUR.

MODELS DISAGREE ON POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION TO LINGER INTO THURSDAY
NIGHT. WITH LOSS OF HEATING AND THE WARM FRONT TRYING TO LIFT FURTHER
NE...WILL GO TOWARD THE LOWER END OF MOS POP GUIDANCE AND USE A 20
PERCENT POP.

ON FRIDAY...WE SHOULD BE INTO THE WARM SECTOR AND WILL LIKELY STAY
CAPPED. THE SUNSHINE AND WARM AIR MASS SHOULD YIELD SOME OF THE
HOTTEST WEATHER OF THE YEAR SO FAR...WITH HIGHS TOPPING 90 IN MOST
PLACES.

.LONG TERM.../FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...UPDATED

SHORT TERM CONCERNS PROHIBITED MUCH WORK ON LONG TERM PERIOD. A
GLANCE AT THE 17/12Z GFS/ECMWF SEEM TO SUGGEST INHERITED FORECAST IS
IN GOOD SHAPE THOUGH AS COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS ON TRACK TO
PASS THROUGH THE REGION LATE FRIDAY NIGHT OR ON SATURDAY FOLLOWED BY
WHAT APPEARS TO BE A PERIOD OF SEASONABLY WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS.
CHANGES TO THE INHERITED GRIDS WERE LIMITED TO A SLIGHT SLOWING DOWN
OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE ON SATURDAY AND THEN A SLIGHT BOOST IN TEMPS
AND DEWPOINTS SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE AIRMASS BEHIND THE
FRONT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AS DRY OR COOL AS EARLIER ANTICIPATED.
WILL ALSO INTRODUCE WEDNESDAY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF MAINLY
AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS AS DEWPOINTS RETURN TO THE UPPER 60S AND
TEMPS MAX OUT IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S.

&&

.AVIATION.../18Z TO 18Z/

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE ONGOING AT TAF ISSUANCE TIME
IN THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA...GENERALLY AROUND KJKL
SOUTHWARD. ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...
WITH A DIMINISHING TREND TOWARD EVENING. SOME OF THE STORMS MAY
CONTAIN HAIL AND HIGH WINDS...WITH CONDITIONS IFR AND WORSE. OUTSIDE
OF STORMS...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. ONCE ANY LINGERING
STORMS DIMINISH EARLY THIS EVENING...QUIET WEATHER IS EXPECTED INTO
THE DAY ON THURSDAY. HOWEVER...AREAS OF FOG WILL DEVELOP TONIGHT. THE
FOG MAY BE LOCALLY DENSE WITH VLIFR CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY IN VALLEYS
WHERE RAIN OCCURS THIS AFTERNOON. ANY FOG WILL DISSIPATE AFTER
SUNRISE ON THURSDAY.
